Apparently, voting in Ohio is not necessarily anonymous.

According to this article you can obtain a list of who voted in what order, and you can obtain the list of votes, also in order. All you have to do is line up the two lists!

I suspect this will be used by Diebold (and others) as an argument for not keeping paper records.

or nevermind?

actually, there was an ID # on my card that matched a number jotted down in the sign-in book.

this sort of thing is used in legal challenges to point out that person X got away with voting but shouldn't - its how, after the fact, districts in Florida could mass-wipe votes from alleged felons even after they voted.
